The graveyard lyrics

I wanna tell you a story

Ain't got no characters in it but me

I wanna sing you a sad song

Most of it I don't expect you to believe

It starts off just the Whiskey and Wine

Miles of travel and some real good times

But it ends in a dark corridor

Where there ain't no windows

And there ain't no doors

Well that's me

Just a'drinkin' off this bottle

And a'driftin' out to sea

Well that's me

Just a'sittin here starin'

And a'shakin' like a leaf

Well that's me

Just a'leanin' on my shovel

In this graveyard of dreams

Yeah that's me

Just a'leanin' on my shovel

In this graveyard of dreams

I wanna take you to a shipwreck

A thousand miles underneath the black sea

It looks like everybody's sleeping

But look close they are dead indeed

I wanna lead you to an armchair

Deep black in the files of my mind

I wanna sit you in the candle's light

Where I've been spendin' all of my time

Well that's me

Just a'drinkin' off this bottle

Is it drinkin' off of me

Now that's me

Just a'sittin' here starin'

And a'shakin' like a leaf

Well that's me

Just a'leanin' on my shovel

In this graveyard of dreams

Yeah that's me

Just a'leanin' on my shovel

In this graveyard of dreams
